When I came to Texas 30 years ago, Sonny Bryan’s Smokehouse was my first introduction to Texas BBQ. Its location near Inwood and Harry Hines has been in operation since 1958. It’s a local icon, an original. Smoke stains from the smokers have turned the walls nearly black inside. It’s got the kind of ambiance that can’t be manufactured, it has to be earned. I went back over the holidays to grab lunch with a friend, and the woman serving us told us she’d been working there for 40 years. When was the last time you met a server who’d been doing the same job for four months, let alone four decades? It got me thinking about how hiring has changed since the days when people stuck around for 5, 10, 20 years, or more. Hiring has always been a headache, but now it’s a full-blown migraine. Managers may stay on a little longer, but staff are often turning over at a rate of nearly 100% a year. The reality is if you’re running a #restaurant, you’re recruiting non-stop. And it can be a huge time suck if you're not careful.Being able to source a high number of the highest-quality applicants is key. Being efficient in getting back to them quickly with offers is key. You have about 24 hours to get back to someone with an offer after they've applied before they move on to someone else. And that's where AI-powered #technology and automation come in. The right tools can go a long way to helping you attract better candidates so you're not wasting your time and making sure your #hiring process is fast enough to get the very best from the talent pool.Of course, talent acquisition is only half the battle. You need to invest in technology that makes people want to stay, tools that make their lives easier. That means scheduling the right people for the right shift. It means making it crazy easy to pick up and swap shifts. It means automating mindless tasks so they can focus on customer experience.For you and your people to succeed, you can’t be a generic, standard-operating restaurant. You’ve got to lean into technology to level up your operations. How are you using technology to level up your #recruiting and retention?#talentacquisition #AI

Bye bye can opener! I won’t miss you. I’ve got this cheap can opener from the supermarket.It looks good, price was very affordable, kind of working but I had to work extra hard for it to open a can, how is that you might ask?This is it’s regular performance: 😒 fake run that doesn’t cut through😒 doesn’t hold on the edge properly to the can so I had to redo the whole initial step repeatedly 😒 once you thought it’s finished, well, there’re still spots need extra cutting Job is just not done! This morning, all I wanted was a simple toast + butter, however I need to get involved with this “good looking but can’t perform” tool. The end result was, after extra effort, I started sweating (22 degree pleasant Syd weather), the toast was getting cold and the lid of the can still won’t open properly, by trying to force it to open, the sharp edges cut my finger 🩸🩸 🥸The lesson here is! 👉If something/someone isn’t fit for the job, it’s actually our job to find a better fit! 👉By trying the best effort, the performance is merely 60%, time to say goodbye, no matter how good it appears 👉If you could afford to get the quality, it’s VERY worth it This is a story of a “good looking but can’t perform” can opener in my kitchen. This is a story repeatily happening at workforce too, if you want quality talent who can contribute well in your team, making your life and work balance happening, reach out to us at Novum Global, our team David Woolstencroft Graham McKean Pete Selley Emma McKean Daylan Samuels Damian SingerWe are here to support 🫵#legaltech #talentacquisition #legaltechnology #recruitment

Chipotle plans to hire 19,000 workers for their busy season, and that will likely cost them between $3-5 million just in recruiter time. I love playing around with ROI calculators here at Fountain. We take our customer metrics and compare to industry standards to see just how much companies spend when they're not using automation for their frontline hiring. The industry hire rate for fast food is 6.8%, so that means just under 7% of applicants who apply for a fast food role end up in the job. Chipotle's 19,000 hiring goal at that rate means they'll need around 280,000 applicants. With standard drop-out rates, they'll be interviewing around 110,000 people. With hiring managers at their locations likely handling a lot of that load, it'll cost Chipotle $1.6 million just to interview. Emailing or texting all those applicants to schedule interviews and answer questions without using any automation? Another $1.3 million. Once those 19,000 are found (if they can find them), it'll cost an extra $285,000 to prep all that paperwork. If you utilize auto-scheduling, auto-texting, and advanced filtering, your hire rate doubles to 15%. That means a pool of 130,000 applicants will net you the 19,000 needed. Cost per application goes down. Recruiter spend on interviews, communication, and paperwork equates to $900,000. So that's $3.2 million versus $900,000. And this doesn't get into the revenue cost of being understaffed in stores, with penalties that could range from $200-$2,000 per day. These costs are super hidden in the HR industry, but even simple models can show just how much can be saved with smart software solutions. Happy hiring!#chipotle #fastfood #peakseason https://lnkd.in/e86ShETB

Gen Z is often talked about in regards to personal finance for their YOLO when it comes to handling money. Honestly, I see more of a balance with this generation of the YOLO but also the yielding into building out what financial freedom looks for them when it comes to retirement and debt. In the overwhelming news of layoffs happening, it seems like Chipotle is doing the opposite. They are planning to hire up to 19K employees for its upcoming busy burrito season in March through May. The connection? 73% of their workforce of 110K is — Gen Z. They know that even in a volatile job market, that companies have to be competitive with not only pay, but also positioning for how this role could be beneficial for employees. Chipotle is doing what I feel more employers should do — learn their applicants. The company will match up to 4% of eligible employees' salaries by making contributions to their 401(k) if they make student loan payments. Also, employers can sign up for a Credi.ai card, which builds credit without fees or interest. The core financial goals of any generation, especially Gen Z — student loan debt, retirement, and building their credit! The one caveat to this is the obvious — the cost of your meal going up, but this is spelling out how the company is listening and leveraging insight to get amazing talent to roll with them!Guess the extra guacamole is with it! What do you feel about this move and what could other employers do to help employees thrive in this inflationary time (along with pay them more)? #genz #employeebenefits #economy

Recently, I was offered a role as an Operations Manager with decent pay, and I was excited about the challenge of improving their operations. I went through several rounds of interviews, even meeting with the CEO. They were highly impressed with my previous work as I brought examples.However, a few days after the interviews, they informed me that there had been an oversight and they could no longer offer me the position. Instead, they offered me an entry-level position as a driver with no specific schedule, which I accepted temporarily. But after meeting the new Operations Manager, I realized it wasn't a long-term fit. I then received an offer from a different industry days later, but I still wanted to drive part-time. Unfortunately, they terminated me due to my new employment.It’s disappointing to see that many companies no longer value true, smart, and hard-working employees. This trend seems widespread, with the focus often on enriching CEOs and their board members. Lower-level employees are the backbone of any business, interacting with customers and keeping operations running smoothly—this shouldn't be forgotten.Fortunately, I have now secured a position as a General Manager in the restaurant industry, with better pay, communication, and clear direction. This company has opened over a dozen restaurants in California in the past two years. Once I complete the rigorous 8-week training, I'll be sure to share the company's name and give them kudos here on LinkedIn.#Employementstandards #Communication #Futureproof #NewStandard #NewMe
